The joint venture partners submitted their tender to the collective sales committee of Maxwell House on May 6, 2021 and the tender was awarded to JV the day after.
The participating interest among the JV partners in this acquisition will see Chip Eng Seng hold a 40% stake, SingHaiyi with 30%, and Chuan Investments controlling the remaining 30%.

Maxwell House is a 13-storey commercial development at 20 Maxwell Road. The 99-year leasehold development launched its collective sale on April 7, 2021 at a reserve price of $268 million. Cushman & Wakefield was the marketing agent.
The site is currently zoned ‘commercial’ under the latest master plan, but the joint tenderers have announced in a press release that they intend to seek approval to redevelop the property into a commercial and residential mixed-use project.
The site currently has a gross plot ratio of 4.3 but the developers say they will also seek approval to increase the plot ratio to 5.6 for the new development to have a gross floor area (GFA) of at least 233,987 sq ft. Up to 20% of the GFA will be set aside for commercial use.
